The Dragon’s Back is a walk that lies within the Shek O Country Park, along the ridge of the Shek O Peak in Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. The whole stage of the tail includes the Dragon’s Back and also a walk to Big Wave Bay, which is 8.5 km in total, taking about 3 hours to complete. If you are a keen hiker, then by all means finish the whole stage. However, you can walk back to Tai Tam Gap after descending from Shek O Peak. The whole walk will be reduced to about 5 km.

To get to the starting point of the trail, take bus No. 9 from Shau Kei Wan MTR Station, and get off at To Tei Wan Bus stop. If you leave from Big Wave Bay, you can either take the No.9 Bus or the minibus back to Shau Kei Wan MTR Station.

Personally, I think the track is ideal for hiking for any type of person because it is not too steep. Without any doubt, it is my favourite hiking trail in Hong Kong, as you will get the best of both worlds-both the views of Tai O and also Stanley. It is also quite an easy track and the feeling of walking along the ridge (i.e. the Dragon’s Back) is simply spectacular!

In December last year James Wright, editor and creative director of So It Goes Magazine, went on a two-week trip to Sri Lanka, "a place so long on our bucket list, but up until then, as yet unvisited," he writes on the first of his three-part photo diary. Herein is the first of his series that chronicles his adventures, highlighted by a selection of breathtaking images of the Sri Lankan countryside and the locals, among many other images, captured with his trusty photographic companions: the Leica MP, Lomo LC-A+, and an assortment of films including the LomoChrome Purple.

Stephen Shore introduced to the 70s art world an unadorned image of American life. He captured littered restaurant tables as other photographers would immaculate vistas. For the opening of “American Surfaces”, he even taped unframed snapshots on gallery walls. In these videos, Shore talks about objects that have “no pretention to art” and the things he learned from Andy Warhol.

In my early adolescence, I liked to play table football. For my 12th birthday, my parents gifted me with a wonderful Subbuteo table soccer game set that I had wished for many months! This was my favorite toy until I discovered other interesting hobbies, like ham radio and electronics. So after some years, I gave away this game to other kids. I always remembered this game with pleasure and a hint of nostalgia.
